I brough home a new one. My mom bought it for me as a present

It is a Singer 15 made in Germany (this one really was made there lol) and it has a little table I love it!
It came from a nice couple that is in the military and bought it when they were stationed over there in Germany. Now they have to move again and didnt want to lug it

I want to use it for FMQ I couldn't figure out how to drop the feed dogs so I just loosened the screw and lowered them permanently(till I put the screw back)

Anyone know what sub model this one is Singer lost the records.
The serial number is C830466

HaHa, to each their own. I have T&S models 645 and 629. The first one I got for HS graduation and the other was in a cabinet that I got for DD at an auction. They both purr right along. 'Course they are joined by a Singer 99, my DGM's Franklin and a few other playmates.
